Bucharest in €50s-€60s rtn

Want a wintry escape with a little extra bite?

Say no more! These cheap weekend trips will whisk you off to Bucharest—just a train ride away from the time-worn cobbled streets, looming mountain backdrops, and beautifully gothic castles of Transylvania.

We'd recommend basing yourself in Brasov since it has one of the prettiest old towns, and it's a great jumping off point to Bran Castle AKA Dracula's house.

With any luck, you might even catch it with a spooky dusting of snow!
